According to the United States Department of Labor (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos151.htm):
 
  • Secretaries and administrative assistants rank among those with the largest number of job openings.
  • Opportunities should be best for applicants with extensive knowledge of computer software applications.
  • Secretaries and administrative assistants are increasingly assuming responsibilities once reserved for managerial and professional staff.

  • The majority of secretaries and administrative assistants are full-time employees who work a standard 40-hour week.

    • About 18 percent of secretaries work part time and many others work in temporary positions.

    • A few are self-employed, freelance (such as virtual assistants), or participate in job-sharing arrangements, in which two people divide responsibility for a single job.

  • Employment of secretaries and administrative assistants is expected to increase by 11 percent, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations, between 2008 and 2018.
